[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 573448, member: 9026"] I find it rather interesting that not ONCE has Canada been mentioned. I mean come on.. basicaly The only 2 countries in the world that yanks can get to without flying or taking a cruise are Mexico and Canada. Canada is also (IMO) the largest and most diverse country in the world. To demonstrate, I'll use rav's quotes on how there's diversity in Europe, and apply it to Canada. [I] - talk about important Dutch historical figures, such as William of Orange, while you could talk about George Washington[/I] This applies to politics.. Every Province and Territory in Canada has different political affiliations, etc. [I] - talk about national politics - different political parties, systems, politicians. You could have a Republican/Democrat debate now couldn't you?[/I] See above.. Canada has aprox a dozen political parties, and some provinces have Provincial parties that don't even exist on a federal level, just as some federal parties don't exist on rural levels in many placse. [I]- TV. Except Friends of course. We all watch Friends. - Music is VASTLY different from country to country in the EU. Belgium's charts hardly overlap with the Dutch charts, and we partly have the same language! Does Eminem sell less records in NY than he does in Philadelphia, because he is from Detroit?[/I] TV And Music in canada.. If you count digital/satelite, we can watch basically any channel in the world. there's a few british programs I like to watch. As for Music, most of our 'music' channels count down non-canadian and non-american music in addition to our own. [I] - Architecture. Dutch architecture is unique. German Architecture is unique. English Architecture is Unique. American suburbs look the same. American Urban centers look the same. [/I] Don't know about any other Canuks, but I can usually tell which city I'm in just by looking around at how the buildings are set-out. [I] - German society is very close to Dutch society. However, unless I take a course in German etiquette, I'd make 6 faux pas in an introductory meeting with a German business partner's wife, 3 of them in the first 30 seconds! So what would happen if I move 800 miles south to Italy instead of the 100 miles east to Germany form the Netherlands? Now, you do that East Coast/west coast comparison.[/I] Lotsa different customs in canadian Cities. Just try calling some one from Toronto a... Never mind, I don't wanna piss them off. [I] I could go on for a long, long, time. I still haven't mentioned half of my experiences. And then there is still the legal, not cultural differences, between each country. [/i] I know what you mean. Every city and province thinks they need their own special rules just to show that they're not the same as everyone else. Anyways, just thought we needed a token Canadian guy in this thread. VIVE LE CANUCKS!! [/QUOTE]
